Lauderdale West market snapshot (as of June 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $317K ($237 per sq ft), with homes averaging 109 days on market and 7.2 months of supply, a buyer's market. Based on 10 recent closings in live BeachesMLS data.
Lauderdale West is an established, age-restricted (55-plus) community in Plantation, Broward County, set on 286 acres with about 1,000 attached and single-family residences, sold on a resale-only basis. Most homes are two-to-three-bedroom, two-bath single-family homes with one-car garages, at attainable price points.
The community is built out, so every purchase is a resale, with condition varying from original to updated. The single-family and attached product, the floor plan, and the lot are the value drivers, and the affordability is a core part of the appeal in a higher-priced county.
The HOA is notably inclusive: maintenance covers internet, cable TV, roof repairs and replacement, exterior painting, and pest control, plus access to two clubhouses, two heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and a courtesy bus. The main clubhouse adds an exercise room, sauna, card and billiards rooms, a library, a ballroom, and an arts and crafts studio.
Diligence is the diligence of an established maintenance-included 55-plus community: confirm the HOA dues and exactly what they cover, the age and occupancy covenant, the rules and any rental restrictions, the reserves and any assessment, and the condition of the home. Price by condition, floor plan, and lot, not by the community average.
